There is a huge loophole in this Seeclickfix application: If the issue involves Code Enforcement, the city immediately takes the issue off of SeeClickFix, say it is now in the Code Enforcement system. That leave the poor resident to fight Alameda Code Enforcement alone, which I can tell you is near impossible even for the most life-threatening code violations in a disabled or elder tenant's apartment. In particular, Code Enforcement and the Chief Building Official McFann refuse all reasonable accommodations for disabled persons, and refuse to give up any records of the code enforcement issue. Worse, whatever "priority" Code Enforcement assigns to an issue is kept secret from the endangered disabled tenant, and Code Enforcement refuses to tell the endangered person if Code Enforcement intends to take any action to have the landlord correct the dangerous condition. They won't even return call, including and up to Mr. McFann, the Chief Building Official.
(Note: this does not apply to Fire code enforcement, which is very polite, responsive and effective, as long as the resident calls the fire code enforcer directly and bypasses the 510-747 -6818 code enforcement extension.)
Calling 510-747-6818, the main code enforcement intake number, the endangered tenant will be told the issue is not a code violation, even if the issue is no water, no gas, no heat, no hot water, no electricity, earthquake hazard shutoff has been disabled, blocked access to stairs, unsafe egress pathways because of buckled and raised concrete, dangerous kitchen floor with missing and slipping tiles causing residents to fall into the stove and be burned, and massive lead contamination for work done both under a city permit, and without any permit at all (replacement of multiple windows). I have been told that all of these are not a problem for code enforcement, and that I should file a civil suit against the landlord and stop bothering code enforcement. Calling up to McFann to report this malfeasance results in McFann saying "he has to go he will call me back", and then never doing so.
Anyone who has any idea how I might make code enforcement do their job, or McFann return his calls so I can tell him how his code enforcers are not doing their jobs, let me know.
